En los tiempos de esplendor de la prensa convencional, se decía que esta era el cuarto poder al servicio del Estado. Y la audiencia, pese a su aparente dispersión, recibía por definición el título de quinto poder. El cambio global en el mundo de la comunicación debido a la irrupción de internet ha conducido a una situación en la que se ha prescindido de los lectores, una fuerza directa y efectiva que, mediante los mecanismos autorreguladores, decía a los medios qué fallaba y cómo podían mejorar. Esta desvinculación del público redunda sin duda negativamente en la calidad ética de la prensa y del periodismo en general. Fruto de la larga experiencia del autor como defensor del lector en La Vanguardia y presidente del Consejo de la Información de Cataluña, este libro recoge una casuística que abarca ejemplos de vulneración de los códigos deontológicos de la profesión periodística en España, Europa y Estados Unidos, constituyendo una importante aportación a los fundamentos de la autorregulación de los medios.

Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing, as well as one of the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and ethnic relations. Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three main sections: tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and genetics mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: 'mixed race', identities politics, and celebration debating definitions: multiraciality, census categories and critiques. This collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins and directions of 'mixed race' research as an intellectual movement. For students of anthropology, race and ethnicity, it is an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes of 'racial' thinking across space, time and disciplines.
